Day Twenty-Four: Post Turkey Coma

Still in a bit of a coma today...feels very much like Sunday. My brother et. al. leave tomorrow so tonight was our final hanging out with them at my parents house. I have my daughter back after she inserted herself over there the past two nights and refused to leave. She didn't want to miss anything and loved playing with her little cousins (and they loved playing with her).

I miss those kids already.

Today for my self-portrait I was thinking about mandalas and how I first heard about them through reading Carl Jung. I was fasinated with them and his interpretation of them representing the unconcious self. I know I drew a few back then but I have no idea what I might have done with them. The bedspread I've used as a backdrop a few times in my portraits used to belong to my grandparents. The design in the center reminds me of a mandala. A dream of what I am or what I can be; of what I was and will be; of me.
